Ministry - The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste

Originally released in 1989, The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste is Ministry’s fourth studio album and the moment they went "all in" on a furious, frightening industrial-metal sound. Following the success of The Land of Rape and Honey, Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker crafted a "brutal collision of industrial noise and thrash-metal guitars" that cracked the Billboard 200 and eventually earned a Gold certification. Recorded during a period of "complete chaos and mayhem" at Chicago Trax Studios, the album remains an essential, "mind-expanding spin" for any true disciple of the machine.

This Music On Vinyl (MOV) import is widely regarded by collectors as the definitive single-LP pressing. Cut on 180g audiophile-grade black vinyl, the mastering delivers "breathtaking clarity" to the "razor-sharp, thrash-style guitars" and "piledriver rhythms." Despite the album's long running time, this MOV edition is praised for its "dynamic sound and silent noise floor," ensuring that the "otherworldly wails" and "tense war movie samples" hit with the force Al Jourgensen intended.
